Jessica de Boer:
Grow - my first album
In a way, the release of this album is the fulfillment of the things I sing about, heralding a new season. I’m looking back, ahead and at the world around me. So it’s not just about me, it’s about all of us.
An album about emerging, growing (up), trusting and longing. Longing for something that’s certainly coming.
Jessica de Boer belongs to the newest generation Dutch jazz-singers and
stands out because of her disarming and narrative style. During her studies
at Utrecht Conservatory - from which she graduated in 2019 with honors -
she fell in love with the rich harmonies and freedom of jazz. Soon she started
writing her own compositions; light, colorful jazz with flexible melody-lines
and a hint of world music. Jessica’s lyrics express universal themes and her
writing is inspired by nature, people, sounds and faith. Her debut-album
Grow centers around emerging, growing (up), trusting and longing.
“I think Jessica is a great new addition to the musical landscape in the
Netherlands: original, involved with the world we live in, big hearted with
great craftsmanship and a singing talent to match."
